I first learned this was a hotel when I went to Angel rooftop restaurant for brunch two years ago—the view is incredible. I remembered the name while passing through Tuscany and it was one of the best experiences I’ve had in any hotel I’ve ever stayed in Europe. I’ve been to Florence a handful of times. The bartender Simone and his colleagues were wonderful, he makes a mean espresso martini. I got lucky that the hotel let me check in early the moment I arrived and upgraded me to a room with a view. The lovely woman who was tidying the room brought me an ironing board within 10 minutes of asking to steam my dress before I went to an event. This entire hotel has perfect service. I will be back.

The location was perfect, steps away from all of the best sites in Florence. The property was very clean and smelled amazing. The room was spacious and well appointed. The staff helped us get a taxi in the morning and even let me get a drink from the bar even though I didn’t realize a private event was happening. The drinks and food are pricey, as you would expect (about a 10 euro markup from any place else for a spritz), but we would absolutely stay here again.

Wonderful hotel to stay at, and in the heart of Florence! Wonderful room and perfect for the stay (great bathroom too), and a scenic view of the Palazzo Vecchio! Service was excellent, including the hotel bar and the breakfast buffet in the morning. Perfect location to walk to the major attractions of Florence. Highly recommend!

We were delighted with this hotel! The location is perfect for walking to different tourist attractions in Florence. The service at reception was excellent; they helped us with recommendations and transportation on several occasions. Breakfast is served in the rooftop restaurant and had unbeatable quality and variety. The rooms are very comfortable and modern.

This is a beautiful, one-of-a-kind hotel. When you walk in, and you see the amazing interior design, and you are greeted by a welcoming concierge. Our bags were taken up by an amazing gentleman, Angelo D. We enjoyed our stay in the deluxe room in the west building that was so clean with an amazing view of the city. The hotel is also very convenient because it is right by many restaurants. When our stay came to an end, we said goodbye to the staff and got to know the manager, Angelo, who is very professional and dedicated. I highly recommend this hotel if you want clean rooms, accommodating staff, and overall a pleasant, home-like stay.

Perfect location in Florence! Rooftop bar is the best in the city. Loved the aesthetic of the beautiful Calacatta Viola Italian marble contrasted with the modern furniture.
